We have a whisper quiet vocal booth that is totally isolated from the outside world and acoustically treated to remove unwanted reflections from the room. Vocals or voiceovers are recorded with pristine quality through a Focusrite ISA 430 Mk 2 preamp and Apogee AD converters.The Focusrite has a very short signal path to output, fully parametric EQ which can be switched into a sidechain for de-essing and a great sounding compressor. We can also correct unsatisfactory vocal performances that have been recorded elsewhere with a variety of software tools and give your voiceover or vocal performance the professional sounding sheen that it deserves.


We can compose original music for your TV ad or film soundtrack in pretty much any genre you care to throw at us. We are very "director friendly" and like to work on a collaborative basis:- after all it's your project. For music projects that are not for film, we are happy to provide string arrangements, MIDI programming and production to complement your tracks.


We have a pristine, noise-free recording environment that is perfect for both recording and mixing, we use high end TC Electronic reverb units that can create unparalleled realism when recreating ambiences. We also have a huge library of sound effects and sound design tools for both music and post. See our technical guidelines for more info on projects for video.
